Leaders in the finance industry across the board have recognized the significant advantages distributed ledger technology (DLT) offers in terms of security, risk reduction, transparency, cost savings, and scalability.

On Tuesday, October 23, 2018, blockchain enthusiasts from St. Louis and the surrounding area will gather in the OCI Training Lab for a Meetup in which RGA Reinsurance Company Technical Architect Ed Deuser will present a talk on DLT and its potential impact on the insurance industry.

Ed Deuser has experience not only in insurance, but financial services, government, and law enforcement; he also served as the technical lead for B3i, the Blockchain Insurance Industry Initiative.

In his talk, Ed will explore some misconceptions regarding blockchain and DLT, then discuss specific ways the insurance industry stands to benefit from this groundbreaking technology.

Anyone with an interest in blockchain is encouraged to attend, whether you're a novice or a seasoned blockchain engineer. Curious professionals are also invited to join us for a glimpse at the transformations they can look forward to in the financial arena as blockchain and DLT evolve.
